What we’re about…

Three Sisters Theatre Company sprang from the observation that few productions in the Ottawa theatre community were passing the Bechdel test.

Three Sisters’ mandate is to increase performance opportunities for Ottawa’s considerable female talent pool, and especially to increase opportunities for women to work together. Three Sisters seeks to bring more theatrical stories featuring complex female characters to the Ottawa professional theatre scene.

Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming shows!

What is the Bechdel test, anyway?

What is now known as the Bechdel test was introduced in a comic strip by Alison Bechdel. To pass the test, the story must meet three requirements: 1. It has to have at least two women in it; 2. who talk to each other; 3. about something besides a man.
